Canned coconut milk is a creamy liquid made from blending coconut flesh with water and straining it to create a rich, dairy-free alternative often used in tropical and Asian cuisines. Popular in dishes like curries, soups, and desserts, it adds depth and a subtle sweetness to recipes. Nutritionally, it provides healthy fats, particularly medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which can support energy and metabolism. Coconut milk is also a source of manganese and iron, essential minerals for bone health and oxygen transport. However, it is calorie-dense and high in saturated fats, so moderation is key, especially for those monitoring heart health or weight. Many varieties are unsweetened, but some may contain added sugar, so label-checking is advised. Canned coconut milk is versatile, making it a staple in vegan and dairy-free diets while offering a smooth, tropical flavor.
